Thanksgiving Week { Part 1 }

Finally time to blog about our Thanksgiving!

Well the second we moved to Texas I knew we needed to make plans for Thanksgiving so we wouldn't be alone. So my favorite cousin invited us to her house on a 4000+ acre ranch about 3 hours from where we live! My mom and step dad decided to fly in for the holidays since they both had the week off and I am so glad they did! We had such a nice relaxing week on the ranch!

I may have realized country living just ain't for me but Faith on the other hand is apparently a country girl at heart :) She loved everything about being at the ranch! I  think she mainly loved her freedom out there and constantly wanted to be outside!

She loved all the new fun toys and her favorite TV "chair" while there...


She loved the openness of the land all around her...

And she especialy loved Stella! My cousins 4 lbs little Yorkie that Faith was OBSESSED with and kissed every chance she got!

But I think Faith's favorite part was her cousin and new BFF "J".

Faith would just follow J around constantly wanting to do what she was doing

eat what she was eating ( including frozen pickle juice)

and play what she was playing


And despite being 9 years older than Faith J loved on Faith the whole time! It was soooo sweet!

One of the daily things Faith and J did together was feeding the baby cows and letting them lose to play around. Faith would just watch J and her dad playing with the baby cows and love running after them!

Thanksgiving came and we had quite the house full! I just love big family events so it was wonderful to have my aunt, other cousins, their kids, friends and more all together to celebrate and also we had the biggest best spread of food it was delicious! Turkey, ham, potatoes, rice casserole, home made biscuits DELICIOUS!


I didn't get to many pictures cuz Faith decided to be a booger on Thanksgiving so keeping her happy took priority over pictures but I did get a few sweet ones of Faith and her cousin...


And Faith meeting her Auntie Kat for the first time!

I have so many more fun pictures to share but this is getting pretty long so I will save those for another day! But as you can see we had a wonderul Thanksgiving week!

Looks like a very special Thanksgiving! In that first picture Faith looks so much like Crista at that age. Makes me miss those baby days of hers :-)
